Help!
I'm an experienced use, but am totally lost here.
I got the SIM unlock code from Tmobile yesterday, threw in an ATT sim, unlocked it, no problem.
I thought it was working fine yesterday
Then when I woke up this morning, i have no network at all! Just the circle with a line through it.
Anyone have any thoughts/guesses/help? I don't know what to do!
did you try rebooting the phone?
is your IMEI black listed?

easy test
if you still have any old phone in the house, or borrow a phone from a friend/co worker for a few minutes
just to swap the SIM card and try, then you can quickly figure out if it's an issue with the phone or the SIM
SIM unlocking a phone will not cause the network problem, unless the IMEI is black listed
is the phone able to find any network?
also you can use Odin to flash back to factory stock

at least i dont think its blacklisted....i bought it from a guy on craigslis.
but it worked fine for weeks.
why would this cause a problem?
i called tmobile and they didnt say anything,,,,
Go in to network settings and check network operators. If your phone sees T-Mobile/ATT but you cant connect then that means your phone was blacklisted for either being lost or stolen.

when i type 'search now' it doesn't find ANYTHING.
it stays on 'searching' for a while', doesn't select anything
then it comes back showing tmobile and att.
when i select tmobile (or att) it says, "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
If the phone was blacklisted, why would tmobile not say anything to me (and why would it only stop working now?)
Try odining back to stock kl1. That will reflash the radio and maybe fix it

no go---doesn't make a difference!
I've been on with (incompetent) people on tmobile for half an hour now...
I would check sim card mine went bad after I took it out of my phone then stuck it in my pocket for a half hour or so when I tried using it it said same thing about connecting to network so I tried my sim in another phone and it didn't work. Use my friends sim and my phone found connection in a few seconds

That's exactly why i suggested him to try his SIM card on another phone
it could just be his SIM that is toasted
change the APN settings. there are a few out there that will work but to keep it simple..
go to:
Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Access Point Names
press the menu button and go to New APN
for the name put "ATT" and for APN type "phone"
leave everything else blank

nothing worked...tried my wife's sim in my phone, no go.
not a blacklisted phone (according to tmobile).
Since I bought it on craigslist, they wouldn't let me send it back...until I said those three magic words (cancel my account).
They are sending me a replacement---replacement fee is being waved.
Thank you magenta!

I did.
I now believe that this is probably related to the same bug that is causing people to lose their ISDN and have the same loss of radio connection.
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474504 for one example (lots of others if you look)
Hello. FWIW: Not quite the same problem, but the fix for me might work for you by chance.
When I got my unlock code from T-Mobile then applied it, my phone did register with the T-Mobile network, but it could not receive phone calls.
Using her phone, my girlfriend was kind enough to help me test various scenarios: phone calls in, out; sms in, out; GSM or Wi-Fi; etc. We narrowed it down to no calls in on GSM at least.
Like you I tried rebooting, but I did not get as far as re-flashing, etc. What I did try on a hunch was clearing all user and system apps' cache with Titanium Backup. Voilà! It worked.
I hope that helps you with your phone (assuming you use Titanium Backup.)
Hey guys I dont see the 3g signal on my phone. I guess i went into ##DATA# and messed something without my knowledge. Now the 3g symbol does not at all come up whatsoever. Advice appreciated. Thanx a lot.!

Flashing stock ROM wont reset those settings. You will need to reset the activation on a stock ROM. I'm not sure of the code for that but its been in the treads a few times....
Which would be ##786#.....
Still no avail brother!

Have you contacted your cellular provider? If you changed some settings, most likely calling your provider to get the right settings will be your best course of action.

As far as I know and someone else has already posted this... You can do a factory reset to bring the os back to a "out of box" state. But this in no way will effect, change or the dialer or radios. Those settings are set by the carriers.

Again, this is your original post. In it you clearly state that you "guess" you did the "##DATA# dialer code and" messed something with out my knowledge".
After rereading your original post again I'm thinking it really should have read this way...
"I went into ##DATA# and messed with some of the settings and didn't really know what I was changing." See the difference???
Those setting in "##DATA# or set by the carriers... They are there to tell the radios on your device how to communicate with and what frequency to use for the towers your cellular providers uses.
I'm going to assume that when you got your ET4G you had to contact your cellular provider to get it setup to use their service, right???
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
I've said this before... I really think you need to contact your provider and see if maybe they can re provision your radios.

Nope, I just needed the dump file for the 3g to work, 3g works on my dad's phone and it doesnt on mine. I use the same dump as his. Still? Wierd
Questions:
1. If not how did you get it setup to see their towers???
I just flashed a prl
2. Did they (provider) give you some kind of codes to enter in the ##DATA# settings???
nope, I had set the msl to 000000
3. If they did, do you still have them and have you tried that???
They are not aware of such a thing also.

I tired they don't understand "reprovision radios"

As you were saying about the out of box state? Could you elaborate a bit more on that. I just need to reset the data settings of the phone to the state in which the phone had come. In the sense as in out of box.

The reset I mentioned is a "factory reset" ... But like I already posted... It will only delete all of your user data and reset settings like wifi, email passwords...
It won't reset the radios...
If you had already flashed these files to get your phone working when you got it, Don't you still have them???

I have hacked several phones thanks to the help of this group so I wanted to return the favor. I spent about 6 hours doing this and have success (phone, text, and 3g web even using OTA programming with no MEID cloning.).
The first thing you need is to make sure your phone is stock. If your phone is modded get the stock rom from here
http://vivow.pcharpoon.com/roms.html#stock
I have tested this on a rooted phone using the GB rom above. With the latest radio from here
http://vivow.pcharpoon.com/radios.html
Next follow what shef692003 says about using CDMA workshop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067036&highlight=spc&page=4
Make sure to get your drivers downloaded first. You will have to hunt for cdma workshop yourself.
We need to change the spc code to 000000 you can also change the NAM number to your phone number but this doesn't seem to effect anything. after rebooting your phone dial the straight talk OTA program number *22890.
I will update after testing with AOPK 4.2 rom later. Thank all you guys for the help you have given.
Update after replacing stock rom with jelly bean AOKP
After running all day on AOKP using straight talk and all is well. Cell coverage is the same if not a little better than my wife's stock straight talk phone. Data was 3g and all the phone's features have worked "out of box" so to speak. I hope this helps someone else if they want to flash their Dinc 2 over to straight talk.

Thanks for the info.
I was wondering, what are the APN settings you are using to achieve 3g?
EDIT: Also, when I try to call *22809 it tells me "we are unable to program your phone"

Sorry it took so long to get a reply back. My kid fell through some sheet rock and broke his arm so I've been busier than usual.
Are you using the stock rom from Verizon?
I didn't touch the APN settings the only other thing I did was to change the NAM value to my phone number. After doing those two things I was able to complete OTA programming. I had also updated the radio but I think that was after I had finished the OTA programming. I'll check my APN settings when I get a chance, but those where "stock" so to speak.
I want to do this for my brother, he is currently on Verizon. I am assuming that he has to disconnect service from Verizon first then activate Straight Talk?

this is no longer needed.. you can bring your dinc2 to straight talk without doing any flashing.. it's their byop plan.

Not True. You can bring SOME CDMA phone to ST but the incredible 2 is NOT one of them! If you try to activate it using their BYOP program they will take you MEID and after 10 or so minutes tell you that the phone is not compatible with their system. I know I tried. The reason I bought my incredible 2 was for the BYOP program.
Sorry for not replying
I never got an email showing their was a request for info on this thread. This method won't work for sprint phones ,I think, because it uses verizon CDMA settings. It does work as this is how I got my phone on the ST network.

I have gone thru 2 sim cards, 2 SM-N910A with similar results.
In settings, call, additional settings, it comes up with Network or SIM card error. AT&T has replaced two sim card, one a micro sim, one a nano sim with adapter.
From the keypad, **21*808551999# the error message as attach
The AT&T associate spent an hour with the advanced tech support to no avail.
I have a Nexus 6 and I can access all the above function, so my account is provisioned properly and I'm post paid
Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same problem.
It's something to do with the phone, as you seem to be aware of, I had a customer come in who wanted to forward his note 4 to his gear s, the same issue happened, from what I can gather it seems to just be an issue with the call app itself, a fix I read but never go to try was taking a sim card from a known working phone that has call forwarding on and inserting it into the unworking phone.
Try stopping the phone app and clear all data. I got a new sim card and then did that and my call forwarding worked. YMMV
I have the same problem. I called tech support today and the lady I talked to didn't even know that the gear app could auto forward you calls. She said she would set it up for me on her end. Not what I wanted. I want this 2 high end devices to perform the way they are suppose to before att got there hands on it.
So what I did was, I pulled out my Note 3. Updated to latest FireKat Rom and problem solved.
My note 4 and gear s worked perfectly when I first got them. THEN WE GOT AN UPDATE--------THE ONLY UPDATE.
That's when I first started having this problem.
Not only do we not have root, but now it isn't doing the cool things it should. I'm sorry for the long winded ***** but I shouldn't have to wait for the chance of a possible maybe sometime in the future if everything goes right update that may or may not correct this problem and could possibly inject more issues. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I came across this post:
This is a problem with AT&T. I'm running 4.4.4 Android on a new Note 4 and discovered that Google Voice wouldn't run on the phone. I suspect the issue is tied to AT&T's implementation of their Visual Voicemail.
After spending a few calls with AT&T Tech Support, I was able to get my Google Voice to work by using the Call Forwarding Settings of "Forward When Busy", "Forward When Unavailable", and "Forward When Unreachable" to be set to my Google Voice number. The problem is that the Note 4 has the bug you mention. It's not possible for the user to access the settings on the phone without getting the "Network or SIM card error" message.
AT&T Tech Support can manually configure these settings, but this will only help if you don't change the settings often because a call to AT&T is required. I'm hoping they fix this bug in the Lollipop build.
Be careful when calling AT&T Tech Support, the first two times I called, the Tech Support Agent had no idea that this type of Call Forwarding Settings were configurable.
For the 3rd try at calling them, I got someone more knowledgeable who first reset my voicemail to "Basic Voicemail". This is done in the AT&T system, not on the individual phone. Once that had been done, I then had to "activate" the Basic Voicemail by configuring my box. As soon as that was done, the AT&T rep was able to go into the AT&T system and manually configure the three Call Forwarding options that I wanted.
It was a huge pain to go through, especially because all I wanted to do was use Google Voice which has worked on AT&T Samsung phones going back to my first Galaxy SII.
My phone still shows the "Network or SIM card Error" whenever I try to access the Call Forwarding Settings, but at least I was able to get the Call Forwarding configured for my Google Voice to work again.
I don't know if this info helps you out, but I wanted to pass it along.
Went back to AT&T yesterday, this time armed with my Nexus 6. Got a nano sim. Nexus 6 call forwarding function work. Working sim into Note 4. same crap happens.
I just check again this morning, and my Note 3 is working flawlessly. Gear app autofowards my calls as it should and advanced call settings does not show error message. I believe it's a problem with the Note 4 not able to register it's self with the network. If I use another phone it registers fine, call forwarding work as does tethering hot spot. If I try my Note 4 neither wants to work. When I call att they can fix my tethering hot spot but can't fix forwarding. My Note 3 just works by its self without having to do anything such as clear app data or anything with I have tried along with phone reset multiple times. I'm going to use my Note 3 for a while.

Tethering should work unless you have unlimited data, all mobile share plans from att include thethering, also you can pre-order the s6 on Friday, if I remember what our new Sammy rep was talking to me about, got to play with it for 30 seconds before a customer walked in, the ui is nice and smooth and the new octa exynos chip is suppose to run cooler and it seemed, just for ui scrolling, to sail through it all. I like the look and feel, I want it......
Edit: keep in mind that you'll be in the same position you are now as far as root and unlocked bootloader, if you want these things wait to see who sells the phone unlocked then buy it at full retail and use it on your account. I work for att, I know even the nexus 6, the most close to stock phone we sell has bloat ware and is locked down tight. If I get the s6 it's out right and unlocked.
Yes I agree. It should work. If I switch my sim to another phone it works just fine. Everything works as it should, but if I put my sim back in my Note 4 in phone settings advanced settings I get an simcard or network error and call forwarding does not work. Also tethering will fail telling me to call 611 or visit website to register device for tethering. Gear app will fail to forward calls also and I have had problems with network data. If you Google this problem it is a problem with note 4. Some people on the att forums are just hoping for an update soon. That's is not acceptable to me. It worked when I bought the phone then there was an update that was pushed to my phone and now my phone is turned off and I'm using my Note 3. So by the time this gets resolved and I can enjoy my phone it will be old in the world of phone technology. So why should I keep it, hoping it will be updated sometime in the near future which keeps getting pushed back for some unknown to me reason. Don't get me wrong. I love my Note 4 but I want it to work now.

The S6 Edge does look nice though.

I updated to 5.01, still has the same issue. This is quite possibly the last Samsung phone I'll ever buy

I know you tried , the dialer codes.
always call forward setting , **21*808551999# (did you make sure it is 10digits? should be , **21*1808551999# if you are in the us. it might be worth a try.
conditional call forwarding **004*1808551999# (busy, rejected, missed calls)

sorry, there's one digit missing in my original post
should have been +18085519959
There's definitely something wrong with how AT&T network supporting this phone. I have no problem with my Nexus 6. It's very frustrating but it's something I have to live with if I want to keep using this phone.
Anyways, thanks for trying to help.

The upgrade fixed the problem for me. I didn't change anything else besides the OTA update.

only thing I have not done is "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery mode. I'll see if I can back up my data on ODIN

Weird that would have been one of the first things I did.. Assumed you already went that way.. If after all this it doesn't work it seems you may have a defective device and should bring it up with samsung or att for an exchange...

I did the "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery and its still the same. You maybe right that the device is defective and since its more than 30 days, either I'll call Samsung for a replacement or claim insurance, however, by looking at AT&T community forum thread, I read that it all worked with N910AUCU1ANIE firmware, when AT&T updated that firmware, all hell broke loose. I'll see if I can have Samsung replace it.

Its on its way to Samsung Repair Center in Plano, TX
I have been googling like crazy trying to find a way to enable hotspotting for the s6. I have rooted it and have TWRP installed. Do I have to install I custom rom? This is the first phone I have not installed CM on so I'm abit of a newb when it comes to TouchWiz. Thanks! Sorry for the stupid question.
I tried the same with rooted and SIM unlocked phone but it's from the network side since I have unlimited data plan with AT&T. Should naturally work on a non AT&T phone or AT&T with limited data plan. AT&T happily suggested I give up my unlimited data and I could then tether or hotspot as much as I wanted....up to the data limit of course.

Does the phone has to be rooted? I tried this on Sprint Non-Rooted S6 G920P phone. didn't work.

Yeah, go lookup HiddenMenu.apk first. Try that worked for me. May just be sprint and t-mobile though
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163

This method does indeed work. I just threw the apk up out of convenience

This might be silly question. But what did you guy say to get MSL code from Sprint? What do I need it for?
I told them that I am having data connectivity issue and want to re-program my phone. They provided me some 786.. code to reprogram, which clearly was not MSL code.
MSL apps are not working for me..
Thanks everyone...
I just asked for the msl code.
I looked up that thread and it involves opening up the dialer and entering ##3282# but nothing happens, if I hit call it attempts to call a phone number with no success. Any ideas?

Post # 3 in that thread has an APK that you should try.
Tried that too...the phone rejects that apk. downloaded it several times and it won't install
Also, if your dialer codes are not working.. Goto Settings>Activate This Device. In the top right, click more, and then PST. You can access your ##DATA# menu from there along with many others. Hope this helps.
I was able to do it using the manual method described above. Thanks for all your help!
